We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This

Written by Jim Lauderdale
Performed by George Strait

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie
This kinda talk will lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

Only an isolated incident
But the acquaintance left me stunned
The first attraction was the hardest hit
I thought I'd ever overcome
This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

We'd each be hurting somebody else
if we don't say our good-byes real fast
Won't even think about a farewell kiss
we really shouldn't be doing this
Well

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie
This kinda talk can lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this
Won't even think about a good-bye kiss
We really shouldn't be doing this
